Door & Window Locks
Providing your locks are well lubricated and serviced regularly, their lifespan will be prolonged. However as with most things in life they will be prone to wear and tear and at some point eventually fail.
The main cause of failure is due to doors falling out of sync with the receiving points of the frame, this will then cause resistance and grinding of the lock. You may also start to notice you need to lift the door handles a little bit more in order to lock it. If you get to this stage, please call for a service! as its alot more cost effective than replacing a lock. Another cause especially with window locks is that the receiving points go dry, again creating resistance which will eventually lead to lock failure.
